The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 180 Counterattack

Qian Zixu saw King Xuan and Xue Qingyin on the second day, and his eyes passed over them inadvertently.

King Xuan looked normal.

There were only some red marks on Princess Xuan's neck.

"Please forgive me for yesterday's innocent crime. I plundered the family property and now I offer three hundred thousand gu." Qian Zixu knelt down with a "pop" sound.

I just filed a complaint in court yesterday, and today I quickly changed my story and gave away money.

His ability to bend and stretch is beyond the reach of Xue Qingyin.

She couldn't bear the grievance!

King Xuan walked straight past Qian Zixu.

Xue Qingyin's pace did not stop.

"Your Highness." Qian Zixu called in a miserable voice.

"Let's prepare the meal." King Xuan said.

But this was not said to Qian Zixu.

The palace people nearby heard the sound and moved.

Now they have almost completely taken over Qian Zixu's house. I go down the mountain to do shopping during the day and come back to prepare food at noon.

The deserted house soon began to look a little more serious.

Now the dishes presented to Xue Qingyin are all her favorites in the past.

"There are two more dishes, made according to the local flavor. I don't know if the princess likes it." The palace servant put down the plate and said, "If you don't like it, I will leave."

Qian Zixu took in this scene.

She thought that Princess Xuan was really loved by her, and even in this poor place, she was given delicacies.

"Princess..." Qian Zixu then approached Xue Qingyin with a shy face.

Xue Qingyin looked at him then, with a smile as bright as a flower: "Three hundred thousand..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious.

Qian Zixu was confused. Three hundred thousand was not enough?

How much did King Xuan pamper his princess to such an extent that he couldn't even look down upon her?

He said cruelly: "Did the Queen Mother entrust the heavy responsibility of 800,000 yuan to the princess's shoulders?"

Xue Qingyin looked at him with a smile.

That day, as soon as King Xuan mentioned "eight hundred thousand", Qian Zixu already knew it.

Now he takes the initiative to bring it up, just to lead to the next words naturally.

"Well, I have the Queen Mother's warrant in my hand. Do you want to see it?" Xue Qingyin asked him slowly.

"It turns out that it is really in the hands of the princess! The princess has said so long ago. ... Alas, the villain used to be valued by the Queen Mother, and he is ashamed to be worthy of it. Today, even if he sells iron, he still has to get the 800,000 taels. The princess will accept it on his behalf... …”

"I wonder what the princess wants?"

Qian Zixu said cautiously.

Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "I picked two mushrooms on your mountain yesterday, and they are very good for making soup. Do you want to sit down and taste them together?"

The corners of Qian Zixu's mouth twitched. Do you still have time to pick mushrooms?

He didn't show it on his face, but his heart was slightly depressed.

What's going on?

Even if you give her the 800,000 yuan, she won't be satisfied?

What else does she want?

She couldn't possibly want the 300,000 crowns he promised, plus the 800,000 taels, right?

"Sit down." Xue Qingyin urged him with a smile.

Qian Zixu froze there, really unsure of what she wanted to do.

This Princess Xuan was not only more shameless than him, but her expressions changed as quickly as his.

Not only could he not figure her out, there was also a husband with an army behind her.

As soon as this thought came to Qian Zixu's mind, he saw King Xuan raise his eyelids coldly and said: "Since the princess asks you to sit down, you can sit down."

"Yes, yes." Qian Zixu came back to his senses and responded repeatedly.

He only dared to sit halfway up his buttocks.

Xue Qingyin moved her chopsticks and started eating.

Now I don’t think Qian Zixu is an eyesore and affects my appetite.

But Qian Zixu's appetite was really gone.

For the first time, I experienced what it felt like to be on pins and needles.

Is she still digging her grave?

Do you still need money? How much does it cost?

"This dish tastes great. It's a pity you didn't try it." Xue Qingyin smacked her lips and stood up.

Ganzi Xu Baba said: "Eat, I can't eat."

He does know how fucking annoying it is when someone talks to him and he pretends to be crazy and stupid, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Soon it was night again.

The servant informed him that King Xuan was carrying Princess Xuan up the mountain again.

The corners of Qian Zixu's mouth twitched wildly, and in the end he could only hold back a curse word: "Fuck you!"

"We can't delay it any longer. If Guang keeps going like this, sooner or later the secret will be exposed..." Qian Zixu muttered.

Servant: "Yes, yes."

Qian Zixu couldn't help but get angry when he heard that the servant could only respond and his head was not clear at all.

"Don't just say 'yes', do you have a good plan?"

The servant said: "No, no."

"Repair a letter..." Qian Zixu just started, and then objected, "No, I won't repair it. I have a plan to protect her. Princess Xuan can't sit still anymore and wishes she could rush to Yizhou immediately. ”

The servant nodded and said nothing else.

Qian Zixu's mouth twitched again when he saw this.

I don’t even know how to flatter the master.

...Forget it, think about it, that's another price. He only deserves to enjoy a few fools.

Xue Qingyin and his party stayed in Xingzhou for another two days.

In the past two days, I just called Qian Zixu in front of me and asked him to sit down and eat together. The main theme is torture.

Qian Zixu still didn't move a bite.

"He is really calm. Even though he is tortured like this every day, he still refuses to bow his head." When she returned to the room, Xue Qingyin couldn't help but marvel in front of King Xuan.

"I can't keep my composure." King Xuan said.

"Um?"

"I'm afraid Yinyin was deceived by him."

Xue Qingyin immediately felt unhappy: "Does he have any other tricks? Is he just pretending to be on pins and needles these past two days?"

The desire to win suddenly came up.

"Has Yinyin forgotten how she exposed him last time?" King Xuan asked.

"Because no matter how affectionate he pretends to be, his instincts cannot be hidden." Xue Qingyin paused, "I know! He hasn't lost any weight in the past few days. How can he look like he can't bear it?"

"Then what's his backup plan? You can't write a letter to cry to His Majesty, right? We can beat him and have already written a letter back to the capital." Xue Qingyin sat down in front of King Xuan.

She didn't realize that now she liked to discuss everything with King Xuan.

"If there is gold mine buried under the mountain, it would be in line with Qian Zixu's temperament." King Xuan picked up the tea cup and started to play with it.

"But what he wants to cover up is iron ore. He doesn't seem to know that there are other mines around Xingzhou..."

"Yes. If the five kingdoms are in power and the powerful powers divide the land and occupy it, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can rely on iron ore, grab gold and silver, accumulate a deep foundation, and turn his family into a big clan."

"Well, His Highness said it yesterday. At that time, there was no unification, so naturally no one controlled private mining. At that time, many people made a fortune from this." Xue Qingyin said. After all, King Xuan still knew much more about this era than she did.

"But now because of the Liang Dynasty's control, how can private iron ore be sold to the outside world? Unless he hides the iron ore privately, not for money, but for...rebellion." Xue Qingyin pushed down.

"good."

"If so, he has hidden it too deeply. He has not remarried, has no heirs, and it is not a troubled time. If he wants to rebel, he must at least make up a name for himself and the origins of a wealthy family... "

"What's another possibility?"

"There is still someone behind him." Xue Qingyin slowly spit out the most likely guess.

"Yin Yin is smart." King Xuan put down the tea cup and said.

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but glance down at his hand.

There was a thin layer of calluses on his fingers, and every time he touched her, she couldn't help but frown and cry out in pain.

But his fingers themselves are very beautiful.

Long and powerful.

Holding the tea cup, he felt a bit charming as he played with it.

"Yin Yin?" Seeing her lost in thought, King Xuan called out in a low voice.

Xue Qingyin: "I was wondering where I am smart. His Highness put all the answers in my mouth."

Xue Qingyin narrowed her eyes and said seriously: "Who could be the person behind him?"

Couldn't it be He Songning?

Did He Songning start paving the way so early? That's not even written in the original work.

Xue Qingyin had a headache.

"Wait." King Xuan spat out one word.

Oh, that’s right, now I have the advantage!

Xue Qingyin suddenly relaxed and thought to herself, as soon as there were too many twists and turns, she would no longer be good at it.

The next day.

King Xuan went out to meet with local officials in Xingzhou.

The local officials here rarely see a few people from the capital all year round, let alone a big shot like King Xuan.

"I heard that His Highness entered the city two days ago. I, the official, and others were unable to come to greet him in time. Please forgive me." All the officials bowed in front of King Xuan.

"It doesn't matter." King Xuan looked cold and taciturn again.

"Now that we have a banquet, I will shamelessly invite Your Highness to honor you."

King Xuan glanced at them and said: "Lead the way."

"Yes." The officials were immediately overjoyed.

Xingzhou Government Office still has some appearance, it is located in the city and has a majestic momentum. After all, it was once a military center.

However, after being abandoned for several years, the walls and columns, which were less than repaired and maintained, have left traces of weathering and frost.

Entering the house, the banquet has indeed been set.

Although Xingzhou is poor, it can still display delicacies on the table.

More than that...

King Xuan took his seat on the main seat, and immediately there was the sound of silk music.

Several dancers, wrapped in tulle, came out in response. He twisted his waist and waved his hands, and the silver jewelry on his body made a pleasant sound.

King Xuan's eyes paused.

Chang Shi, Sima and others on the side looked at each other and felt relieved.

They will feel more confident about what will happen next.

"Your Highness." Xingzhou Sima suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"An old friend came from the capital and wanted to see His Highness."

The other side.

Qian Zixu nudged himself in front of Xue Qingyin.

He said: "A beauty came to the city yesterday."

Xue Qingyin:?

Why tell her this?

"This journey is not easy. When the beauty arrived, she was about to fall ill. Fortunately, Sima and Chang Shi from the state capital came to her rescue. This question is someone who is known to His Highness King Xuan.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is heading to the state capital now. Oh no, he should be at the state capital by now."

He said: "I should also meet that beauty."

Qian Zixu said while carefully analyzing Xue Qingyin's expression.

He increased his intensity: "The beauty in distress is the one I feel pity for the most."

"They are so brave! How dare they go behind my back and present their beauty to His Highness?" Xue Qingyin stood up suddenly.

Qian Zixu was like a dog, and kept saying: "Princess, do you want to go and have a look? I will go with the princess!"

Xue Qingyin turned to look at him: "You are the first to rush to the government office and lift the table for me!"

Qian Zixu smiled secretly. Sure enough, this is the only way that can make a woman insane.

He then showed an indignant look on his face: "I will go right away!" He even showed that he was willing to die for Xue Qingyin.

Xue Qingyin immediately turned around and ordered the guards: "What are you doing? Go and prepare the carriage!"

Gan Zixu turned around to lead the horse and walked in front to lead the way.

The carriage was also ready, Xue Qingyin got in, and the driver whipped the whip and rushed down the mountain.

"Wait a minute, go slower." Xue Qingyin said.

The guards were at a loss: "Aren't we in a hurry to catch..."

"Catch what? Catch your highness's traitor?" Xue Qingyin yawned lazily, rolled up the curtain, and looked at Gan Zixu who was gradually going away in front.

She said: "Hasn't someone already gone there for us? Why are you in such a hurry?"
